2.4


2.7.3 LIGHT EMITTING DIODES (LED) (1)

(2)

(3) (4)

2.8

Industry practice is to provide LED luminaire as a complete luminaire consisting of housing, reflector/lens, LED module, and driver. LED luminaires from different manufacturers which have similar housing, lumen output, input wattage, and optical system may have different photometric performance. A/E shall review all important performance parameters to assure a minimum of three domestic manufacturers are producing equivalent equipment. Utilize LED luminaires when operating at or below temperatures of 0 degrees C (32 degrees F). LED luminaires perform well in cold weather. Do not specify LED luminaires for environments that exceed 50 degrees C (122 degrees F), unless LED luminaires are certified, listed and warranted by manufacturer for such environment. Verify with manufacturer that performance and warranty are not altered. Do not use LED lamps for non-LED luminaires as a replacement or retrofit. Avoid using RGB (red, green, blue) LED light sources in applications where only white light is desired. BALLAST AND LED DRIVER SELECTION GUIDELINES

Selection must be determined in conjunction with luminaire, lamp source, and controls. 2.8.1 FLUORESCENT BALLAST (1) (2)

Utilize program rapid-start ballasts to maximize energy savings and lamp life. Dimming ranges for dimmable ballasts must correlate to visible light control, not power consumption. For most dimming applications a range from 10% to 100% is acceptable.

2.8.2 HID BALLAST (1) (2)

HID ballasts fed from emergency power must be provided with either current sensing or time delayed quartz restrike. Consider electronic ballast as the basis of design.

2.8.3 LED DRIVER (1) (2) 2.9

LIGHTING CONTROL SELECTION GUIDELINES Verify lamp/ballast/LED driver compatibility with control devices prior to finalizing specifications. Confirm compatibility during the submittal review phase. Consider utilizing central lighting control system or BAS. Use of central lighting control system or BAS offers the following advantages:  The ability to access status, alarm conditions, and change control sequences remotely from a computer.  Time clock scheduling.  The ability to assign/reassign any control device to any lighting control zone through program software.  The ability to log and record hours of operation to support group relamping maintenance.  The ability to track actual energy usage and energy savings.  The ability to easily swap local control devices. Coordinate circuiting with control zones and devices. Consider LED in dimming application. HID sources are not suitable for frequent switching. Access to the ON/OFF control should be limited. Wireless controls are prohibited. Consider using automatic sensors for applications where hands-free switching is desirable due to operational or infection control concerns. LIGHTING CALCULATIONS Calculations should be performed using computer software such as AGI, Elum or Radiance. Calculation grids should not exceed 5 feet x 5 feet (1.5 m x 1.5 m) at grade for exterior applications unless otherwise noted, and 2 feet x 2 feet at 2’-6” (0.6 m x 0.6 m at 0.76 m) above finished floor for indoor application unless otherwise noted. Rooms that are smaller in size or have critical illumination requirements should utilize a 1 foot x1 foot (0.30 m x 0.30 m) calculation grid. Utilize surface reflectance to reflect specified room finish. However, if specified room finish is not available, utilize standard values of 80% for ceiling, 50% for walls, and 20% for floors. Confirm the lamp lumen output listed in the photometric report of the luminaire matches the lumen output of the specified lamping. Calculations shall use appropriate light loss factors. Light loss factors shall include lamp lumen depreciation, ballast factor, and luminaire dirt depreciation. Calculations performed for spaces with fluorescent lamps operating outside of standard temperature ranges should include an ambient temperature adjustment factor for the lamp. Refer to lamp manufacturer's information for lamp temperature operating range and adjustment factors.

2.6


(6) (7)

2.12

Utilize daylight rendering software to determine extent of daylight penetration and create daylight harvesting responsive control zones accordingly. Provide a hardcopy report of lighting calculations to VA. Include all functional areas and list of average illumination levels, types of luminaires, quantities and type of light sources, maximum and minimum illumination, and light loss factor used. LIGHTING SYSTEM COMMISSIONING

Employ total building commissioning practices tailored to the size and complexity of the building and its system components to ensure design requirements are met. This should include a designated commissioning authority, the inclusion of commissioning requirements in construction documents, a commissioning plan, verification of the installation and performance of systems to be commissioned, and a commissioning report. 2.13 (1) (2) (3)

LIGHTING MAINTENANCE CONSIDERATIONS Luminaire components, such as lamps, ballasts, and power supplies, must be accessible from below the ceiling. Minimize the number of different light sources to simplify maintenance and operation. Lighting luminaire components should be compatible and interchangeable.
